PUSAN - On 30 October local time, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with US President Donald Trump. Xi Jinping pointed out that under our joint leadership, Sino-US relations have maintained overall stability. Being partners and friends is a lesson of history and a necessity of reality.
Given the different national circumstances of the two countries, some differences are inevitable. As the world's two largest economies, occasional frictions are normal. In the face of storms and challenges, the two heads of state as helmsmen should grasp the direction and manage the overall situation and ensure the smooth progress of Sino-US relations. I am willing to continue to work with President Trump to lay a solid foundation for Sino-US relations and create a favorable environment for the development of the two countries.
Xi Jinping stressed that China's economic development momentum is good, with a growth rate of 5.2 % in the first three quarters of this year and a 4% increase in imports and exports of goods to the whole world. China's economy is a vast ocean with considerable scale, resilience and potential. We have the confidence and ability to cope with various risks and challenges. We have never sought to challenge or replace anyone, but rather focused on doing our own thing well, becoming a better version of ourselves and sharing development opportunities with the world.
This is the key to China's success. Xi Jinping pointed out that the economic and trade teams of the two countries have exchanged in-depth views on important economic and trade issues and reached consensus on their solutions. The two teams should perfect and complete follow-up work as soon as possible to maintain and implement the consensus. Recent reversals in economic and trade relations between China and the US have also provided lessons for both sides. Economic and trade relations should continue to be the ballast and engine of Sino-US relations, not an obstacle or a point of conflict.
Xi Jinping stressed that dialogue is better than confrontation. The world faces many challenges today, and China and the United States can together demonstrate their great power responsibility and work together to achieve more meaningful, practical and beneficial things for both countries and the world.
